Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (millimass unit) The millimass unit is a unit of mass equal to 0.001 atomic mass unit, used in physics and chemistry. This unit is also called the millidalton (mDa). The millimass unit is an SI unit, but its proper SI symbol is mu, not the older symbol mmu. Unit Definition (slinch) The slinch is a unit of mass invented by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The unit is part of a system based on the pound of force and the inch. One slinch is the mass accelerated at one inch per second per second by a force of one pound; thus the slinch equals exactly 12 slugs or about 386.088 pounds (175.1268 kilograms). The word is a contraction of slug-inch. In the U.S. military aircraft industry, this unit is sometimes called a mug. It has also been called a snail.
